Deep, richly saturated violet-purple with a distinctive step-cut triangular shape that gives it a bold, geometric character unlike most faceted gems. The large flat facets reveal the full depth of the color - a true velvety purple with lavender highlights around the girdle and an intense violet core. Natural inclusions are present consistent with the SI clarity grade, and fine needle-like features are visible through the table, adding organic authenticity to this striking, completely untreated stone.
Sourced from Tanzania and sold entirely in its natural state, this spinel's deep purple color is one hundred percent unenhanced - no heat, no treatment of any kind. Tanzania is an important source for unusually colored spinels, and purple specimens of this saturation are particularly sought after by collectors. An ideal choice for statement pendants or geometric ring settings that can showcase the triangular silhouette, and a standout addition to any natural spinel or collector gemstone collection.
Natural purple spinel, fancy triangle cut, untreated, Tanzania - sold loose.

About spinel
Spinel is 8 on the Mohs scale, has good toughness and no cleavage, so it resists scratches and rarely chips or splits when knocked. It is a durable choice for everyday wear, rings included.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Ultrasonic and steam cleaners are usually fine for a faceted spinel, but skip them if the stone has fissures that reach the surface.
Wear and storage
Spinel is hard, so it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Harder stones such as sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so keep it apart from them and store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This spinel is untreated. Spinel handles normal setting, re-tipping and polishing well. If the stone has fissures that reach the surface, keep it out of direct torch flame and acid pickle.
